It sounds like you are

It sounds like you are talking about misbehavior in terms of conditioning or previous experiences. I like that idea a lot. As a student, who has had an ineresting set if experiences, I can say that sometimes my actions or responses must seem ridiculous to my teachers. If only they could understand what is going on with my brain. Or at least, for privacy's sake, admit that there might be something significant happening in my head. I agree with your assessment that a lot of my misbehavior is a result of my brain attempting to protect me, in its own misguided way.
